Inkspirational Challenge - Mint and Navy

It's a lovely Saturday to start a new challenge over at Inkspirational! We've got a colour challenge this time for you. Mint and Navy.

It's not a colour combo I'd use very often but it is rather good together. Today I have something extra special for you. My Ink Teamies wanted me to do a tutorial on how I do the masking technique so I decided I'd share it with you all as well. :-) Here we go.....

Once I've decided on my main image and design idea I create a mask by stamping my butterfly (Stampendous) on a thin piece of paper. (In this case I used computer paper. I like to use post-it notes when I can as they are thin and have a built in sticky back that is low tack so as not to wreck your card underneath. However, you are limited by size). I fussy cut my butterfly out and set it aside.

Next, I stamped my butterfly in black Memento ink on my card base.

Then I added some Zig glue to my mask. If you let this dry before sticking it down it is removable.

I stick my mask over my image and I'm ready to start playing with my background.

I stamped my script stamp (STAMPlorations) in black that I've faded out and spritzed with water several times.

Then I splatter Navy Memento ink and Peacock Feathers Distress ink. (I thought the Peacock Feathers was a bit more green than it actually was).

Then I remove the mask.

I coloured in my butterfly with my Spectrum Noir markers and add the sentiment (STAMPlorations) in black.
